COINTELPRO: The FBI's War on Black America

The Complete Malcolm X on DVD: http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/

Through a secret program called the Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO), there was a concerted effort to subvert the will of the people to avoid the rise "of a black Messiah" that would mobilize the African-American community into a meaningful political force.

This documentary establishes historical perspective on the measures initiated by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI which aimed to discredit black political figures and forces of the late 1960′s and early 1970′s.

Combining declassified documents, interviews, rare footage and exhaustive research, it investigates the government's role in the assassinations of Malcolm X, Fred Hampton, and Martin Luther King Jr. Were the murders the result of this concerted effort to avoid "a black Messiah"?

I have a granddaddy born in 1919 served in ww2 only to come home to whites only signs. Just like malcolm said the american government should be charged for its abuse against the african nation the stealing and enslaving of its people and the continued oppression til this day.

The only crime Malcolm X every committed was seeing threw the bullshit.

@wattsr81....indeed! Just like Hitler was half Jewish. It's crazy how a person can hate one half of whom they are.

[10hooper]

Why do you think all of our historical figures who made positive impact on black culture are no longer living? ==> The white man with an agenda killed them

[PlayBoyohsoFresh]

@wattsr81 1000 thumbs up dawg thats our plight in a nutshell

[wattsr81]

The civil rights movement gave us the same "on paper" liberties that white people currently have....our predecessors earned that for us. So the beast figured out another way to kill our movement......the CIA controlled distribution of drugs into the black community single handedly destroyed the civil rights movement.....and with half of our minds warped off of drugs, and the persuit of materialism, we lost what our parents and grand parents fought for. Hence the state of our black kids today.

[wattsr81]

Did anyone know that Hoover was half black? Sad......

[wattsr81]

Damn.....Fred Hampton was only 20 years old when he was murdered?

@YSN954 im 17 too and i also checked this video because of pac

[SofaLaLoka]

Does any one else realize that we have literally gotten NOWHERE ?!

Damn shame ...all this youth is interested in is Jersey Shore Bad Girls Club etc. Will we ever achieve what they have fought for ?

[gcoolceaser]

Hoover was so angry and cold toward his black heritage that he used any type of agenda to disassociate himself from the race in order to keep anyone from knowing. That type of behavior goes on today..

[stimela03]

The devil must be white but l will still pray for them!!!
